re: Your favorite all-tube combo amp (bang for the buck)?

My guitarist went out about two years ago with a budget of $2000 to buy the best sounding tube amp he could find in NYC.

He came home with a Bugera V22.

the bugera line's PCB are so thin that after a while the heat from the tubes warp it... solder joints that they use are cheap and general parts are cheap. It's a cheap chinese made mass production amp.

Bugera has a PLETHORA reliability issues, bad tubes, cheap transformers, blows fuses, has a loud hum to it (louder than other tube amps)

if you own a bugera amp then you need to do 2 things:

1. Make sure your homeowners insurance is current.
2. Invest in a fire extinguisher.

Behringer owns the bugera brand and that's all you really need to know about how shitty of a product they put out.
